Title: OoE Medals
Post by: dark_soul on November 05, 2008, 09:20:34 AM
I read from walkthroughs that medals are obtained when you defeated the boss without taking not a piece of crap damage from them :-X but, what's the big deal in collecting them? some unlockable reward? a supah cool weapon or something? i've searched far and wide (well not really) and found nothing about it, though it gives me great honor when defeating enemies whitout taking damage :D what are they for?

Bragging rights. That's about it.

I would guess they are kind of like an achievement.

awww i could've wish for a medal case or something, stacking it up on the use item list isn't cool :( when i look at it at the use items list it makes me feel like i just picked up the medal :(

It sucks!!  All that hard work for nothing.  Bragging rights are cool, but what's the point when you are the only one you know who plays Castlevania games.

Do medals count towards the item percentage list (Never gotten any)?

Yes, it counts to the item percentage. Look it up on the Item List often.

I just the final medal yesterday.  It really isn't that hard to get them.  All you need is 2 death rings and a powerful glyph union.  The toughest ones to get are the crab in the lighthouse, the water demon in the reef, and eligor in the arms deport of the castle.  It's also a good idea to use Dominus - Agony for the bosses in the castle.

The crab almost took me 30 tries before my patience ran off. Maneater was annoying (if it wasn't for that bones falling) but got the medal as well. Rusalka however, was my problem. 10 tries I spammed Vol Fulgur on him but ineffective so what I did was use Kulte instead. It does decent damage unlike on Vol Fulgur.

tell me the male hsien-ko doesn't have one :-\
Jiang-Shi doesn't have a boss medal. Maybe he's optional?

sometimes defeating boss at first isn't easy but at 2nd try when finally getting it's attack pattern, it seemed easy :( konami didn't made the medals look different from each other looked all the same...

i was always thinkin theyd unlock a special glyph when you get them all, but its kinda lame that im probably gonna be the only person who will ever see my collection when i finally get them all. maybe they will do somethin when you can link to Judgment (at least i hope)

yeah plus putting in on used items list kept me thinking that i just picked it up somewhere on the map :( it just proves you defeated the enemy without a miss doesn't unlock anything...

Naturally, boss medals are harder to get in Hard Mode. Of all the bosses in normal mode, only Eligor truly troubled me enough to forgo his boss medal, but in Hard mode, Lv1, fresh especially, I have to leave many bosses un-medaled:

Goliath: Too many debris
Albus: His shots are a little too quick
Barlowe: His penta-dash is harder to dodge
Eligor: See above. Even with Death Ring, the battle drags on way too long for me to stay calm.

My suggestion is that if you REALLY want to collect the medals, play multiple playthoughs (via New Game+). Double Death Ring makes killing bosses often too easy....

And Blackmore looks damn near impossible.
